I was recently chatting with a coaching client who asked me about tech skills. She didn’t consider herself very computer literate or technically savvy, and wanted advice on what tech skills to focus on. It’s a great question, and something I’ve been meaning to talk about for a while.
Today is that day!
There are literally endless business and tech skills to learn when starting and running your own business. I’m cutting through the clutter and focusing ONLY on those tech-related areas you need right now.
FYI, this is NOT by a complete list by any stretch of the imagination. But, it should get the ball rolling.

Get Your Performance On!
One of my top questions goes a little something like this...
..."Corbin, how can I boost my energy, business, performance, and concentration in a healthy, non-junky-storebought way?"
My best answer is to pack in at least one performance elixir per day. No fillers, chemicals, dyes, or drugs. Just good ol' nutrition!
The recipes below are copyrighted, and taken as excerpts from our paid coaching packages. The full list is in the dozens, but I'll share a few of my favorites below. No excuses now, get with it!

I hate selling! How can I sell more of my services in a way that clients don't feel "pushed," "forced," or "uncomfortable?
Most business person greatest fear when selling is being too pushy or to come off like one of the hateful salespeople. Oftentimes, they are the ones who are more interested in pushing their product or services rather than figuring out what the necessity or what services clients need. Regardless of the client's pronouncements they push and push until they finally said "NO".
Let's face it! Selling is tough, and everybody hate selling. Then you must be one tough guy who's willing to take any chances to sell your services/products.
Getting someone to buy your products or services create a lot of pressure. You came to a … Read more >

5 Decision Filters to Find the BEST Opportunity - Every time
How do you evaluate an opportunity? With so clients and new offers coming at you, how do you pick?
How to separate new opportunities from everything else bombarding your inbox, phone, and social direct messages every day? I’m sharing my 5 Opportunity Filters for your toolkit. I’ve personally followed this filter framework and things work out pretty well.
(1) Is the opportunity pitched correctly and in a targeted way?
Is the pitch way-off without any value qualification? At the very least, it shows lack of knowledge. At worst, it shows a wanton disregard of the other person.
Of course all us business folks need to sell and build. But at least offer something useful, especially … Read more >

Are you, or someone you know / love / trust looking for better circumstances? Better job or better clients?
Or maybe, like me, you have a son or daughter entering the workforce and want to give them that extra EDGE.
It was just that very circumstance (my son graduated this week!) that prompted this impromptu ‘brain dump’ of all things job-getting related.
As a bit of background, I’ve done literally hundreds of projects, dozens of clients, and countless hundreds of interviews. In our enterprise consulting practice, I work with many of our clients to screen and hire project staff as well. I know what works, and what doesn’t when it comes nailing the interview.
But before you jump ship on me and say “Corbin, I’m a super-business-owning … Read more >

Something completely different today...
I'm going to talk a bit personal, a bit business, and share a big announcement later in the show---so stay tuned for it.
Recently, I've been doing a LOT of personal-dev training and development. (Way more than usual, in fact.) And as part of that effort, it hit me that one of the things I preach---know where you are at any given time wasn't being followed.
Things had been so frantic with client business growth, that other areas of the business weren't getting the right levels of attention. And I was completely out of step with 'knowing where I was'. (Not a good place to be in life or business.)
I'll share a bit of that discovery today's episode and along with it, and a very practicable 5-Point … Read more >

Short but intense episode today.
I'll be talking about a topic I see come up way WAY too much with first-time business builders:
That's the subject of "tools".
Software. Toys. "Infrastructure"
AKA -- Distractions
Software, apps, productivity tools, web services and all manner stuff is great. There's a time and place.
But when you're getting started and building the first legs of business? This stuff can KILL your time and income.
So I'll share a little story from this weekend, along … Read more >
